## Resource

Today on I Allegedly, I took the brand-new Los Angeles D Line train from Union Station through downtown LA to Grand Central Market to see firsthand how people are adapting to today’s economy. What started as a simple train ride turned into a real look at how inflation, travel costs, parking prices, and everyday financial stress are changing how Americans live. From Dodger Stadium commuters avoiding expensive parking to families riding public transportation for free weekend events, this trip revealed how mass transit is becoming a major part of the new economy. Along the way, I visited Grand Central Market, explored downtown Los Angeles, checked out the brand-new Wilshire/Fairfax station, and talked about major business and economic stories including retail shutdowns, food shortages, bankruptcies, airline drama, tariffs, rising prices, and why more Americans are searching for affordable entertainment and transportation. The economy is shifting fast, and this trip through LA shows exactly what that looks like on the ground.. 💡 We have a Private Channel where you can support the content and get exclusive perks!
